Gu Xiaobei shared her thoughts with Gu Xiaodong, who readily agreed this time, promising to arrange for her transportation back the next day.
After breakfast the next day, she urged Gu Xiaodong to hurry up. Chen Qiumei pulled Gu Xiaobei aside: "You're still in your confinement period, you can't just do whatever you like." Gu Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, then blushed, "Mom, what are you talking about!" She turned to grab her bag and ran downstairs.
Two hours drive away, Gu Xiaobei felt that the air was sweeter the closer they got to the barracks.
As soon as they entered the family compound, they ran into Xiangmin carrying a basket and preparing to head out.
"Xiaobei, you're back? Where have you been these days?" Xiangmin greeted her warmly.
"I was staying at my brother's place for a while." Gu Xiaobei replied with a smile.
